  • "How much do I owe you?" said the husband to his wife,
    "For standing beside me through the hard years of my life.
    "Shall I bring you diamonds, shall I buy you furs?
    "Say the word and it's yours.

    And his wife said: "I won't take less than your love, sweet love.
    "No, I won't take less than your love.
    "All the riches of the world could never be enough,
    "And I won't take less than your love."

    "How much do I owe you?" to the mother said the son.
    "For all that you have taught me in the days that I was young.
    "Shall I bring expensive blankets to cast upon your bed?
    "And a pillow for to rest your weary head."

    And the mother said: "I won't take less than your love, sweet love.
    "No, I won't take less than your love.
    "All the comforts of the world could never be enough,
    "And I won't take less than your love."

    "How much do I owe you?" said the man to his Lord.
    "For giving me this day and every day that's gone before.
    "Shall I build a temple, shall I make a sacrifice?
    "Tell me Lord and I will pay the price."

    And the Lord said: "I won't take less than your love, sweet love.
    "No, I won't take less than your love.
    "All the treasures of the world could never be enough,
    "And I won't take less than your love."

    "I won't take less than your love, sweet love.
    "No, I won't take less than your love.
    "All the treasures of the world could never be enough,
    "And I won't take less than your love."

    "No, I won't take less than your love." Writer/s: DON SCHLITZ, PAUL OVERSTREET
